For nearly three decades, our commitment to excellence has driven us to perfect our exhaust brakes. Drawing from extensive experience on countless hill and mountain roads, we've refined our design to provide the most effective solution for your needs. Featuring BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, a solid offset butterfly, a spring-loaded cylinder, and precise pressure regulation, our exhaust brake delivers up to 150 retarding horsepower across the entire RPM range.
Unlike some designs that claim superiority with additional parts, our rugged cast-iron housings for Dodge, Ford, Chevy, and motorhome applications incorporate BD's exclusive alumibronze bushing, piston ring-seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft – proven to endure harsh, high-heat exhaust conditions. The stainless steel butterfly valve and rotating shaft resist corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. Moreover, most kits for newer pickup trucks also include an air compressor for added convenience.
